 Short answer: Gcc and Libgcj are still two separate trees and they
 need to be built, installed (and eventually pointed at) separately.
 This should change fairly soon.
 
 Long answer: I think I see what's wrong. You haven't built gcc yet
 (you have a gcc installed on your system, but it most likely doesn't
 feature gcj.) So first, get the gcc source tree (you could start by
 downloading a snapshot: http://gcc.gnu.org/snapshots.html), build and
 install it (http://gcc.gnu.org/install/index.html), tell your system
 where gcj should be found (that is where you specified things should
 be installed during the configuration of gcc, suffixed by bin -- if
 you specified --prefix=<something> as an argument to `configure' then
 gcj will be install under <something>/bin after you did a `make
 install') by adjusting and properly exporting PATH and then you can
 configure and build libgcj, gcj will be picked up when needed if your
 PATH is right. As a sanity check, try `which gcj' first before
 configuring and building libgcj.
